Devil's Tongue Barrel Or Biznaga Ferocactus Latispinus ARIZONA-SONORA DESERT MUSEUM PLANT CARE INFORMATION Devil’s Tongue Barrel or Biznaga Ferocactus latispinus DESCRIPTION: An attractive barrel cactus with an extensive natural distribution in central and southern Mexico is the Devil’s Tongue Barrel. It normally remains a solitary plant and is modest-sized for a barrel cactus (around a foot in diameter). Of several central spines on each areole one is conspicuously wide and flat and hooked or curved at the end. This prominent spine is usually red, but may be yellow. Most species of Ferocactus flower in spring or summer, but Devil’s Tongue Barrel consistently blooms in the late fall through mid-winter. Flowers are about an inch and a half across and rich-purple, providing a welcome burst of color at a time of year when not many cacti are in bloom. RECOMMENDED USE: Can be planted out in the garden for landscaping or used as a patio plant. It makes for a nice accent or potted specimen.

(over) CULTURE: Hardiness: Devil’s Tongue Barrel is hardy in Tucson down to at least 17oF. Sun tolerance: It does best, having the most natural growth and best spines, when grown in full sun to very light shade. Watering and feeding: In a pot, water weekly during the warm weather. In the ground, it may require less, but may benefit from at least twice monthly watering. Water can be cut off in the cold, damp times of winter. Twice yearly fertilization is needed in containers, but not in the ground. Soil requirements: Any soil that drains is fine for ground culture. For containers, it requires a porous cactus soil with additional drainage as can be supplied by perlite, pumice, or coarse sand. Pruning: None necessary.

    Tobusch Fishhook Cactus Species Status Assessment - Final SPECIES STATUS ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR TOBUSCH FISHHOOK CACTUS (SCLEROCACTUS BREVIHAMATUS SSP. TOBUSCHII (W.T. MARSHALL) N.P. TAYLOR) February, 2017 Southwest Region U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Albuquerque, NM Tobusch Fishhook Cactus Species Status Assessment - Final Prepared by Chris Best, Austin Ecological Services Field Office, Suggested citation: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2017. Species status assessment of Tobusch Fishhook Cactus (Sclerocactus brevihamatus ssp. tobuschii (W.T. Marshall) N.P. Taylor). U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southwest Region, Albuquerque, New Mexico. 65 pp. + 2 appendices. i Tobusch Fishhook Cactus Species Status Assessment - Final EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tobusch fishhook cactus is a small cactus, with curved “fishhook” spines, that is endemic to the Edwards Plateau of Texas. It was federally listed as endangered on November 7, 1979 (44 FR 64736) as Ancistrocactus tobuschii. At that time, fewer than 200 individuals had been documented from 4 sites. Tobusch fishhook cactus is now confirmed in 8 central Texas counties: Bandera, Edwards, Kerr, Kimble, Kinney, Real, Uvalde, and Val Verde. In recent years, over 4,000 individuals have been documented in surveys and monitoring plots. Recent phylogenetic evidence supports classifying Tobusch fishhook cactus as Sclerocactus brevihamatus ssp. tobuschii. It is distinguished morphologically from its closest relative, S. brevihamatus ssp. brevihamatus, on the basis of yellow versus pink- or brown-tinged flowers, fewer radial spines, and fewer ribs. Additionally, subspecies tobuschii is endemic to limestone outcrops of the Edwards Plateau, while subspecies brevihamatus occurs in alluvial soils in the Tamaulipan Shrublands and Chihuahuan Desert. A recent investigation found genetic divergence between the two subspecies, although they may interact genetically in a narrow area where their ranges overlap.

POTTERY WITH KEITH TAYLOR ur President, Keith Taylor started making pottery in 2008 when he could not find the right sized pot for his Cyphostemma juttae. Ever since then he has developed a unique andO beautiful style of his own. He’s been featured in Bonsai magazines in the US as well as Europe, creating a demand for his unique containers with cactus, succulent and bonsai hobbyists. We’re very excited to have Keith lead a pottery class for the October 27th and November 24th meetings. Members will be making and glazing their very own pottery! As in previous years, Keith will graciously provide all the supplies (clay, glazes, etc.). Each member will get one pound of clay to play with - enough to make a couple of pots. Additional clay will be available at $5 per pound. Members should bring newspaper and a flat box for safe transport back to Keith’s place as well as a hair dryer, small plastic tub (for water), pencil, rolling pin, bowls (for molding), skewers (tooth- picks), objects to add textures and your imagination.

  • THE COAST BARREL CACTUS by Sue Haffner
    THE COAST BARREL CACTUS By Sue Haffner Photograph from calflora.net The coast barrel cactus, Ferocactus viridescens, grows in what would seem to be a most unusual place for a cactus—right on the coast, from around Del Mar in San Diego County down into northern Baja California. Its habitat comprises perhaps a hundred miles in length and thirty miles inland. Needless to say, this area is home to several million Southern California residents. Despite that, it is not as well known as its desert counterparts. This is due to its small stature. Less than a foot and a half tall, it is often hidden by taller shrubs. It becomes easier to spot when its red and yellow buds open to reveal bright yellow flowers. This plant was discussed on the Cacti_etc online list awhile back. Bob Mitchell, from the San Diego area, wrote: “The thing to remember about it is—that it is a winter grower. So, if you have the climate or the cultural conditions now [Sept.] is the perfect time to go to work on it. Un-•‐pot it, clean it as necessary, examine the roots and remove any dead or diseased ones, and re-pot it in a mix of up to 2/3 pumice and 1/3 sandy loam. In habitat, the rains start around Thanksgiving and continue off and on until March or so. The days get into the 70’s or 80’s, and the nights can drop into the high 30’s. If you can’t provide these conditions, you’ll see why F.

  • Ferocactus Echinocactus 18Aug2013
    The Weekly Plant 18 August 2013 Scientiic/Common names: Ferocactus wislizeni1/Arizona barrel cactus, ishhook barrel, compass barrel Echinocactus grusonii1/golden barrel cactus, golden ball, mother-in-law’s cushion TAV location: Arizona barrel - several plants are in the quadrangle between the gym/swimming pool and the Community Center. Golden barrel - small specimens in landscapes around the Village. Large, lowering specimens can be seen at B&B Cactus on Speedway. Ferocactus wislizeni, left, Discussion: Echinocactus grusonii, right. I’ve been hesitant to write about both barrels and saguaros. After all, what can I say that you haven’t read already? But, maybe you haven’t heard the botanical and taxonomic details. So, this week I’ll discuss two common barrel cactus. If you look at the scientiic name of different cactus2, you will see that some include the word “cactus” (like this week’s plants) or the word “cereus” (like the hedgehog cactus, Echinocereus fasciculatus, Weekly Plant 8 Apr2012). This is a clue about the plant’s lowering habit (if those words aren’t in the name, you have no clues about lowering). The “cactus” lower on the newer growth, near the tip of the plant (see photos above). The “cereus” lower on older growth - the lowers appear on the sides of the plant. Saguaro and hedgehog cactus are in this group. What more can we learn about this week’s plants - Ferocactus and Echinocactus? “Fero” is from the Latin ferus, meaning ierce or wild, for those wicked spines. “Echino” is from the Greek word for the spiny hedgehog, Echinocactus so named because of those wicked spines (that didn’t help much).
